Mail the contents of a file in perl
Hi,

I'm trying to read the contents of a file (message.txt), put them in a mail and then mail it
This is what I have thus far but I having trouble referencing the file. I'm trying to put it into an array so any ideas would be helpful ...

Code:
$to='user.n@domain.com';
$from= 'username';
$subject='Test';

my $log_file = "/message.txt";

open FILE, "$log_file" or die $!;
my @array_of_data = <DATA>;

open(MAIL, "|/usr/sbin/sendmail -t");

## Mail Header
print MAIL "To: $to\n";
print MAIL "From: $from\n";
print MAIL "Subject: $subject\n\n";
## Mail Body
print MAIL <DATA>;

close(MAIL);
close FILE;
close (DATA);

print "A message has been sent from $from to $to\n";

NAME

       claws-mail-acpi-notifier -- Mail notification using laptop's mail LED

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the claws-mail-acpi-notifier

       This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.

       claws-mail-acpi-notifier is a plugin (loadable module) for the Claws Mail mailer.

       Enables mail notification via the mail LED available on some laptops. LED can be set to blinking or on when new mail is received.

       Also can be set to blinking when user interaction is required.

USAGE

       Before using a plugin you must instruct Claws Mail to load it on startup.

       For  this you must go ``Configuration'' menu on main window toolbar, open ``Plugins...'' dialog, click on the ``Load plugin...'' button and
       select the plugin file, named acpi_notifier.so, and press the ``Open'' button.
